  1. date

    Having emails broken up by date is helpful when trying to locate a relevant email. Yes, it is ordered by date in the inbox, but not being able to see where yesterday, last week, and last month emails start makes it very difficult when doing a visual search because you cannot search using the correct key word or recall the sender - only roughly when it was sent. Please bring back the time periods (today, yesterday, last week, last month, last year, etc.).

  3. Spam folder should show number of emails when hovering

    Like the Inbox folder icon, the Spam folder icon should also show the number of emails when hovering over the icon. Showing a small unread emails number on the Spam icon's upper righthand side would be a nice feature too. Currently, I need to open the Spam folder to see if there are any emails. I am using Microsoft Edge browser.

  4. There's a problem deleting emails from the Inbox.

    I don't really call the problem with Navigation, but nothing else fits.

    Every time I delete an email without opening it, the system opens the next email. I don't want the next email opened! It just started a few days ago, but it's very annoying!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Please go back to the way it was last week.

    Thank you.

  5. Also need to see which address an email was sent to

    WE also need to see which email address a message is sent to. Right now, when viewing a message, it simply says to "me" but does not show me which email address it was sent to. Thus when looking at message in the spam box, I can't even tell which of my yahoo email addresses it was sent to. Being able to see which of my email addresses when both composing and viewing is very important.

  6. Return to displaying email address of possible scam site

    Display of possible scam site address in messages helps in trying to identify suspicious email sources. Why was this function removed in the "New Yahoo Mail" set-up? It was very helpful & was advised as an online safety check by at least 2 sources. Where did it go?
    And there is more, much more, changes in "New Yahoo Mail" set-up that are mind boggling.

  8. When Unread becomes Read

    Where do unread emails go if they are marked read? It is very easy to mark a message as read and then it seems to just disappear, without having ever been read. They don't appear to go to trash.

  10. choosing between different accounts

    Before this latest "up"grade, it was possible to toggle between different mail accounts right under the inbox menu on the left hand side. This was handy. in the nez design this is not possible anymore, one haz to go to the bottom of the screen and switch. This is less user friendly why I encourage you to consider re-locate this functionality where it used to be, i.e. right at the top, easyli accessible.

  11. List inbox by sender, not search by sender.

    We recently were forced from xFinity email to Yahoo. 'List emails by sender' is either really hard to locate or not present. I don't want to search by sender because that is only one sender...not all. Categorizing emails by sender makes it very easy to delete or save emails to the correct folder.

  12. Move to inbox

    After the recent upgrade, I can no longer move emails from a folder back into the Inbox. The Inbox does not appear as an option under the Move icon, and drag-and-drop into Inbox also fails. The only workaround is moving messages to Trash and then restoring them to Inbox. Please fix — users rely on Inbox as an active workspace.

  14. arrow key

    Why can't I scroll through an email using my up/down arrow keys (Windows 11, Brave browser)? It works fine in the old email.

  15. Inbox - Unread

    Hi - can you please bring back the ability to see how many unread emails are left? There used to be a small number indicating outstanding unread on the inbox tile. Now it's hard to tell. You have to scroll through your inbox to ensure all have been unread. The number just makes it easier for at a glance view.

  18. New navigation

    I have a few issues with the new Email from Yahoo. While I miss the old version as it was easier to use and read, I realize the need to modernizing. I am OK with using the new Yahoo however there are two issues that drive me nuts.
    First, I would prefer to have the option of which email box to default. I am always being directed to the PRIMARY box and even after a page refresh, it continues to default to that box. I would prefer to use the ALL inbox. Can a configuration setting be created for this.…

  20. Get Rid of AI Summary

    Nobody wants. your stupid AI summary shoved down our throats. Knock it off. Look, I get it. Your CEO and other upper level managers are clearly as dumb as box of ******* rocks. They are either lying to themselves about what AI is and what it can do, or they are the dumbest people on the planet. AI is a tool, nothing more. Right now, it's a very very ****** tool. We do not want this. Stop ******* up my email account.
